Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The rate in Clapham for 1912 is slightly lower than it was in
1911, but is 10 above the decennial average, and in Putney it was
only twice exceeded in the previous 10 years, viz.—in 1902 and
1909.
In Tooting the rate is higher than it was in 1911, but is still
12 under the decennial average, and in Wandsworth ttie rate does
not compare favourably with that for 1911, although it is five under
the decennial average.
This last sub-distric has always had a higher average mortality
from Pulmonary Tuberculosis and although the rate is higher than
it was in the three previous years, it is satisfactory to observe that
in 1912 there has been a reduction compared with the decennial
average.
One death from Pulmonary Tuberculosis occurred in an infant
under one year, two in persons from one to two years, 13 from five
to 15 years, 44 from 15 to 25 years, 136 from 25 to 45 years, 87 from
45 to 65 years, and 20 over 65 years. From other Tuberculous
diseases seven deaths occurred under one year, six from one to two
years, 10 from two to five years, 21 from five to 15 years, five from
15 to 25 years, nine from 25 to 45 years, three from 45 to 65 years,
and one over 65 years.
Tne list which follows shows the occupation of those who died
from Pulmonary Tuberculosis during the year.
